Property developer UOL Group has picked up the Real Estate Management Team of the Year Award at Singapore Business Review’s inaugural Management Excellence Awards 2015.
The award recognises management who have implemented a strategy or initiative that contributed to the company’s growth.
UOL’s team comprises Group Chief Executive Gwee Lian Kheng, Deputy Group Chief Executive Officer Liam Wee Sin, and Chief Financial Officer Wellington Foo.
Receiving the award at the Shangri-La Hotel last night, Mr Gwee said: “It would not be possible for the Group to grow and become one of the leading developers in Singapore without the hard work and professionalism of all our employees. I would also like to thank Chairman Wee Cho Yaw and the Board of Directors for their guidance, advice and pragmatic approach in building the business all these years.
“The change curve for real estate is getting shorter and the business environment is getting more challenging – but this is not the challenge. What is more important is what leaders are doing to overcome such challenges.”
This year, UOL launched two property developments – Botanique at Bartley, a 797-unit resort-themed condominium, and Principal Garden, a 663-unit development on the fringe of a Good Class Bungalow Area.
According to the developer, these projects have been selling well amidst the challenging real estate market due to their unique design, high-quality finishes, and attractive pricing.
